I’ve done some research on this and couldn’t come up with any info so i tried it myself.
Last night I hooked up my expedition trailer on my 4 door Rubicon with 37’s and headed out on a camping trip. (Currently writing this from the campground).
The Jeep isn’t regeared and I can confirm, it pulled like a dream. The trailer was fully loaded with gear, the Jeep had 5 people in it and loaded with even more gear inside.
My only real concern was braking. I didn’t have any problems but to be safe, I will be switching the axle on the trailer to something with electric brakes to assist with stopping.
Other than that, I think it did excellent.

Thanks for that info. I just upgraded my gears to 4:88 with 37s for towing a loaded trailer (3000lbs). So far I'm very happy, but my true test will be this summer when we travel to Colorado.

Good to hear.
Great feedback. Thank you for the write up!
Sorry for the double post.
That’s good to know. I’ve been thinking about building my own trailer. Pics of yours?

I'm glad you posted this. We're rebuilding our popup camper completely into an offroad camper, and I was concerned about towing it with ours on 37s.

Sorry for the lack of trailer picture but it’s made by a company in California. I won’t name them because the trailer sucks. Anyhow, I’ll be fixing the trailer and once I do, it’ll be a great trailer.
Also, the trailer is running 35’s.

It’d be beneficial if you did name the company and gave an honest review on what is wrong with it and how you fixed it.
Other than that the Jeep and trailer look great! Glad that it tows well.
